Dreams and the full moon

There is a full moon coming upon March 19th.It is about 14% bigger than normal due to the moon's closer than normal proximity to the earth. With the full moon, it is true that people are bit weirder than usual. The intense stories that you have heard from people working in emergency rooms or on 24 hour hot lines are true. I feel that there is a thin veil between the physical and the spiritual worlds at the time of the full moon. In the NY times book review, there was a review of a book called Nocturne: A Journey in Search of Moonlight by James Atlee. The author went on a worldwide journey in search of the affects of moon light on our lives and he found that in Islamic societies "The night becomes a creative space and a source of inspiration rather something to be feared, as it so often has been in Western cultures".

During this time, we can access all kinds of interesting information from our dreams if we choose. Before you go to bed, focus upon the information that you would like to understand . It is important to be clear about the topic, the ease that you would like to receive it and that the information be in your highest good. For example, if I am working upon a presentation and I am at a loss for a topic. I ask that the information come is easily, clearly and tonight if it is in my highest good.
It is always helpful to have a dream journal by your bed, and a pen with a small flashlight in it. This way you can write down the dream without fully waking up. Do not wait till you have gotten out of bed and gone to the bathroom since usually the dream memory will be gone especially if you are just beginning this practice. In time, you can get so adept that you will be having conversations in your dreams about what you are seeking.
